Flu?
Chapter 640 Flu?
Guo Lidong's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest, and his mind was a jumbled mess.
Why does this foreigner remember himself?
Have I been exposed? Will I cause trouble for the police?
Charlie smiled and handed over the drinks, adding an extra one: "These are for you. Although our Lele is of very high quality, it's still a beverage, and you can't drink it every day. These are for the adults."
Wow, what thoughtful words.
It sounds like Charlie is a very kind and compassionate person.
"Okay, thank you." Guo Lidong, carrying his drink, suppressed the urge to leave quickly and continued walking slowly at his usual pace.
On his way back, he suddenly turned and went into the Binjiang Road Police Station: "Officer, is this drink safe to drink?"
The deputy director on duty had a stubble beard and bloodshot eyes.
He looked at the drink in Guo Lidong's hand, his lips moved, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Although no problems were found, I don't recommend drinking it."
"Understood!" After indirectly finding out the progress of the case, Guo Lidong went home.
He lives on the fourth floor of an old-style residential building without an elevator.
The building is inhabited by colleagues from the factory, old acquaintances of decades, and the neighborhood relations are very harmonious.
"Ahem, Lidong is back. Huh? Going to get drinks again? Ahem." The first-floor apartment has a small yard, which is occupied by the first-floor resident.
The yard is surrounded by a half-meter-high fence, meant to keep out honest people, but not scoundrels.
Grandma Yan, who lives on the first floor, carried a bamboo stool and sat in the courtyard, greeting Guo Lidong.
Guo Lidong stopped and, through the fence, greeted Grandma Yan: "I had the day off today and didn't go to the factory. What's wrong? Is your bronchitis acting up again?"
Grandma Yan took out a handkerchief from her pocket, blew her nose, and looked tired, like a plant that was thirsty.
"Don't even mention it, cough cough. I think I've caught a cold, I feel so weak. Sigh, otherwise I would have had to go queue up today. Lele is really delicious."
"A cold? Have you seen a doctor at the community hospital?"
"It's just a minor ailment, a little hot water will do the trick." That's how it is with older people when they're sick; they won't go to the hospital unless it gets really serious.
"Call me if anything happens," Guo Lidong said before going upstairs.
Everyone was home; even Guo Xiaoqiang, who should have been at school, was there.
Guo Lidong put the drinks on the balcony, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen to help chop vegetables: "What's going on? Why is my son home?"
Grandma Guo served up some pork rib soup: "Most of the children at school have caught a cold, so the teachers have sent them home to study online."
"Is it that serious? You and Dad should be careful not to catch it. I just saw Aunt Yan, she has a cold too."
Grandma Guo frowned: "Go change your clothes, don't bring the virus home."
Guo Lidong...
He came back from outside, not from an area affected by the epidemic.
Why is she so disliked?
Grandma Guo didn't care whether her son felt wronged or not, and urged him to change his clothes: "There are a few boxes of cold medicine at home. After you finish eating, take one box and give it to Grandma Yan. Her son works abroad, and she lives alone at home. We should take good care of her."
"Fine. When is her son Qingyan coming back? He hasn't been back for four or five years, has he?" Grandma Guo curled her lip dismissively: "Who knows? He can come back or not, it's up to him."
Grandpa Guo, carrying an enamel mug, happened to pass by and sneered, "He's a heartless bastard. Only Sister Yan is covering for him."
He absolutely despises Qingyan. So what if he's good at studying? He has no character, no integrity, and is unworthy of being a son.
Back then, the country valued him and selected him as a government-funded student to study abroad. But he did something quite different; once he was sent abroad, he achieved some academic success and then never came back!
Not only does he refuse to return to China, he also abandons his elderly mother who raised him!
Have you ever made a phone call or written a letter in a year?
Such a heartless scoundrel will be struck by lightning sooner or later.
Grandma Guo told everyone to eat: "Alright, don't say things like that in front of Lao Yan. She's the most strong-willed."
"I'm not stupid." Grandpa Guo turned on the TV and switched to the news channel.
[Our news: Russian President Yeltsin signed a presidential decree today appointing Vladimir Putin as First Deputy Prime Minister and Acting Prime Minister of the Russian government, and formally nominated Putin to the State Duma to serve as the new Prime Minister.]
Putin, 47, served for many years in the Soviet state security apparatus before entering politics in 1990. During his time in St. Petersburg, he demonstrated exceptional administrative skills, serving successively as the city's first deputy mayor. After transferring to the Presidential Administration in 1997, he held positions such as deputy head of the Presidential Administration and first deputy head of the Presidential Administration, overseeing important matters including relations between the central and local governments…
"Premier?! My goodness, that's some serious promotion speed!" Guo Lidong exclaimed in astonishment.
Back then, Lin Xiaohe was criticized by many media outlets for supporting Putin. It feels like yesterday, still vivid in my mind.
How long has it been? Putin has become prime minister!
Grandpa Guo took a sip of his wine and exclaimed with emotion, "Our Director Lin really has a keen eye for talent! Who would have thought that Pujin would achieve what he has today?!"
Guo Lidong: "Absolutely. Director Lin's move was brilliant! During the year we were blockaded, we were fortunate to have oil from Russia."
Behind the rapid economic and industrial development lies an extremely high demand for energy.
Director Lin's prediction that Dongguo's demand for oil would be ridiculously high has come true.
Many people admire Lin Xiaohe for her foresight; she truly has vision and thinks ten steps ahead.
She's a strategic-level expert!
Guo Lidong ate an extra bowl of rice while praising Lin Xiaohe.
After the evening news ended, Grandma Guo switched the TV to the health channel.
Grandma Guo trusted the experts on the health channel very much, and she learned everything about exercises like Baduanjin, Huaiyang lying down, and nutritional balance.
According to Grandma Guo, life is getting better and better, and she really wants to live to be a hundred years old to see just how powerful Dongguo will become.
When she passes away, she can tell her ancestors how much her descendants have lived up to her expectations!
Ideally, she would be able to witness the day when the Eastern Kingdom avenges itself.
The health channel host announced clearly and explicitly: "According to our station, the National Health Commission has announced that my country has entered the flu season. Monitoring data shows that the national influenza virus positivity rate has increased significantly compared to last month, with influenza A currently being the dominant circulating strain."
Experts have determined that the intensity of this flu outbreak is within the normal seasonal range, but due to factors such as temperature changes in autumn and winter and increased indoor activities, flu activity is expected to remain high in the coming weeks.
Children, the elderly, and people with chronic underlying diseases are at relatively higher risk of developing severe illness after infection. The public is advised to continue taking personal protective measures and maintaining good hygiene habits…
Grandma Guo was taken aback. Was the flu that serious?
"Son, daughter-in-law, when you go to work, remember to wear masks."
"Okay, Mom."
At the same time, Charlie held a wine glass, listened to the news broadcast, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
I want to get a cat, but I'm afraid of cat hair flying everywhere.
I went to the cattery today, and the staff recommended hairless cats.
Anyone here who has owned a cat, any advice?
